The International Communications Forum will be convening three workshops, open to all present at the conference on Just Governance for Human Security which will be held at Caux, Switzerland, 12-17 July this year, and of special interest to media professionals.

The ICF's merger with the International Council for Press and Broadcasting and the arrival of William Morris as the ICF's new Chairman will see a renewal of ICF activities and events, with a new conference planned for May 2014.

An encouraging picture of demand for the principles of ICF and the response the ICF has made this year were expressed at our annual meeting in Caux. Twenty people took part in the Assembly and the suggestion is on the table that at next year’s Annual Assembly in Caux the ICF should again join forces with the conference on Trust and Integrity in the Global Economy (TIGE).

Conference organised by the ICF. The conference covered issues raised by war reporting, with a particular though not exclusive focus on exploitation for good or bad of material disseminated through new media sources, and the way journalists respond to these challenges.
